Hollyoaks’ Jennifer Metcalfe: “Waist trainers are painful and upsetting”

Hollyoaks’ hottie Jennifer Metcalfe tweeted a picture of herself drinking a bottle of beer on the beach at the weekend, not only did her waist look toned and tiny, but there wasn’t a waist trainer in sight.

We caught up with the soapstar at the Covent Garden Hotel as she is announced as ambassador of LighterLife Fast, to find out her secrets to looking slender.

Jen told us she eats what she wants [in moderation] for five days and has two days eating 600 calories a day with the LighterLife Fast plan – a range of nutritious foods designed to be eaten on the 5:2 plan.

Jen says she’s never used extreme methods like waist trainers - used by celebs like Kim Kardashian and Geordie Shore's Holly Hagan - to look good.

She said: “I’ve got a small waist and I don’t want it any smaller but I was sent a waist trainer along with Jorgie Porter and Steph Davis and the photos I’ve got on my phone of trying to get them two in it was just hilarious.

“It just looked painful and upsetting and I thought NEVER ever. I think if you just do everything in moderation and keep up a good maintenance then that works for me.”
